An academic internship is a credit-bearing
career-related work experience of limited duration in which an individual takes
on responsible roles outside of the traditional university environment: in a
non-profit organization, a government office, or a for-profit business.
Internships must include training and supervision. Depending on the employer,
some internship positions are paid. This valuable form of professional training
provides students with the opportunity to test their career interests in an
off-campus setting. Sophomores, juniors, or seniors may earn academic credit for
internships during the fall, spring or summer terms.
